Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 106

In fact, Zhao Gang had already seen that An Yinong and the provocative guy were both young masters that they could not afford to offend. Beating this person up would be satisfying, but the subsequent consequences were something that ordinary people with no power and influence could not afford.

“Hush.” He held Zhang Wei down, “Leave it to He Tiantong, and don’t make any more trouble.”

At this time, An Yinong had already remembered who the person in front of him was. His surname was Zhong and his given name was Qiming. He was the one who took the lead in ostracizing and using cold violence against the original owner when he was studying in private school.

This person’s family was also in the media business, but was not as good as the He family. Yet, he always compared himself with the He family in everything. So he targeted the original owner, not only for personal reasons, but also for family reasons.

Family reasons… Thinking of this, An Yinong sat down and picked up the spoon: “I hope you are well.”

His behavior made Zhong Qiming suspicious, because in his impression, ‘He Tiantong’ was a person who could be easily angered.

“Yeah, I heard you transferred to another school. How pitiful! Does the new school dislike you? Oh, by the way, who are these two? Are they your new dogs?”

Zhang Wei immediately clenched his fists, but was stopped by Zhao Gang again.

Why was this person so arrogant? Because he was rich. As the saying goes, “I can cook without oil, and no one listens to poor people’s nonsense.” Money gave someone the capital to run rampant.

“I’m not like you, who treats friends like dogs.” An Yinong glanced at the three people behind him meaningfully, “You are standing here now, looking down on this and that, not because you are capable enough, but because you are lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family. You think your luck is your ability and use it to attack others. Go back and take a mirror and look at your face. Do you deserve it?”

Zhong Qiming was unexpectedly slapped in the face by An Yinong. He was so angry that his face turned red. He rushed in front of An Yinong with an expression that looked like he wanted to eat someone.

“Are you going to hit me? Are you sure?” An Yinong still held the spoon and slowly scooped a spoonful of chocolate ice cream, but he raised his head and smiled, “With a family like ours, if you hit me, are you going to compensate me with a few stores? If I hit you, I’ll cut a piece of your flesh, which is quite cost-effective.”

The two families had many conflicts. The He family had wanted to take action against the Zhong family, which had been pursuing and pestering them for a long time, but they just lacked an opportunity. The Zhong family did not have the capital to confront the He family. If a fight broke out now, it would not be An Yinong who would suffer.

The original owner had indeed suffered a lot of losses in the private school before, which led many people to misunderstand that the original owner was taking advantage of his power to bully and suppress the children of the Zhong family. But even at that time, Zhong Qiming did not dare to take action against the original owner openly and could only create some public opinion.

The original owner was a naive young master who didn’t know how to fight back when being bullied, but An Yinong was not like that.

If Zhong Qiming dared to hit An Yinong, An Yinong would have the ability to ask his family to intervene, and then it would not be such a simple matter that could be settled privately.

Zhong Qiming’s face turned pale and red, he couldn’t understand why this big fool suddenly became so cunning and treacherous? Indeed, he really didn’t have the courage to take the initiative to cause trouble. If he caused a conflict between the two families and gave the He family a reason, he would definitely be punished by his family.

The Zhong family was not like the He family. It was supported by Xie Jiu and had no foundation. Moreover, the Zhong family had too many concubines and many children, and the relationships were even more complicated.

Unlike ‘He Tiantong’, he was the only son of He Laosan, and no matter how stupid he was, someone would always tell the truth. Thinking about this, Zhong Qiming even felt a little jealous: Why did this fool enjoy such good treatment?

“I’ll let you go first, and let me see you next time…” Zhong Qiming left a weak threat and walked away in despair.

He was so aggressive when he entered, and so shameless when he left. Zhang Wei and the two couldn’t help but turn their eyes to An Yinong, who was still eating ice cream with his head down: “Are you still in the mood to eat ice cream?”

“Why shouldn’t you eat it if it’s so delicious?” An Yinong smiled and became the harmless young master before. “Don’t worry, he doesn’t dare.”

Looking at his current appearance and thinking of his aura just now, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but ask: “Are all of you children from rich families so fickle?”

An Yinong thought for a moment and said, “Not really. I went to the same school as him before, and I was bullied until I dropped out, so…” He didn’t say anything else, just showed an expression that said “the past is too painful to recall”.

“What? No wonder you kept silent when you first transferred to this school. That bastard, if I see him, I will definitely beat him up.” Zhang Wei was filled with indignation.

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes: “Your annual pocket money is not even enough to pay for his medical expenses.”

They were playing around, but no one asked An Yinong about his family background, although they were probably very curious: what kind of family would have to pay several stores for every fight?

An Yinong ate ice cream and recalled the original owner’s time in that private school. The students in that school were either rich or noble. As the son of the third son who did not inherit the main family business, He Tiantong was just upper-middle class in terms of status and background.

With an above-average background, a pretty face but not a smart enough brain, and an overly naive character, He Tiantong’s life there was not easy.

That kind of discrimination and violence was not blatant, but surrounded the original owner little by little like a spider web, suffocating him and making him unable to find the enemy. The idea of transferring schools was proposed by the original owner. It was a rare request from him, so his family readily agreed.

However, the original owner’s parents did not understand the reason in depth. They thought that the elite education model put pressure on the not-so-smart original owner, so they chose a government middle school which was relatively less stressful. However, they did not expect that there were even more terrifying traps inside the government middle school.

“So you’d rather disappear than be an idiot again?”

After Zhong Qiming went out, he became angrier and angrier. After all, he was only a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, who was at an age where he didn’t know his place. So in his rage, he suddenly came up with a good idea.

“Abiao, you said you know someone from the White Tiger Hall, right?” Zhong Qiming put his hand on his shoulder, “Can you help me ask if the White Tiger Hall will accept business?”

“Brother Zhong…” The younger brother who was named trembled in fear. Even Zhong Qiming didn’t dare to hit him, so he went to find someone to deal with him. Was he tired of living?

“It’s just a lesson, do you want to do it?” Zhong Qiming grabbed the younger brother’s collar.

The little brother named Abiao’s lips trembled and he didn’t dare to agree.

“Brother Zhong, forget it. By the time we find them, they’ll be gone.” At this time, another younger brother tried to curry favor with him. Zhong Qiming turned around and slapped him in the face: “Do you have the right to speak?”

He looked at the three people who were timid and incompetent, and angrily threw the bag in his hand to the ground: “You can’t do this or that, what’s the point of having you?”

Furious, Zhong Qiming didn’t even look ahead and bumped into a ragged homeless man walking towards him. He covered his forehead in pain and stared with wide eyes: “Stinky beggar, don’t you have eyes?”

Before the homeless man could react, Zhong Qiming started punching and kicking him.

The beaten homeless person just fell to the ground. She looked to be in her forties or fifties, with tangled curly hair, a dirty face, and a thick winter cotton coat. One of her shoes was missing, and she had a dazed look on her face.

Next to her was a puppy that was equally dirty, barking at passers-by.

Any passersby dared not step forward. The world was not at peace. They were not destined to be heroes, so they should not try to be heroic, lest they get into trouble.

The shouting attracted the attention of An Yinong and others in the ice room, and they came out.

“It’s that bastard!” Zhang Wei couldn’t stand it when he saw them beating people up. But he wasn’t the fastest one, An Yinong rushed over earlier than him.

He thought the skinny An Yinong would be at a disadvantage, but he didn’t expect that he was actually a wolf rushing into the flock of sheep. Zhong Qiming, who was just arrogantly beating people, was kicked away, and the other little followers were also pulled, twisted and kicked by him, and they immediately lost their fighting ability.

Zhang Wei and his companions arrived a step too late, and only the wailing Zhong Qiming and a few of his younger brothers were left on the ground. They were stunned.

“Zhong Qiming, is this what your family taught you? Bullying the disadvantaged in society?” An Yinong half-knelt down, grabbed Zhong Qiming’s collar and pulled it up, “I heard that your Zhong family is now doing charity and appearing in the news everywhere, do you want to be on the news too?”

Zhong Qiming, who was caught with a handle, lost all his momentum: “You, don’t go too far.”

“Apologize to this old lady, and pay for her medical expenses.”

“You hit me and you want me to pay for the medical expenses?” Zhong Qiming felt so wronged.

“Then will you give it to me?” An Yinong said with a smile, “There are a lot of people here, they can all see your face, I’m afraid it will end badly if you don’t give it to me.”

Having said that, how could he not give it to him? Zhong Qiming, who was both arrogant and cowardly, took out a handful of banknotes and left angrily with the help of his followers.

At this time, the waiter had already helped the homeless person who had fallen to the ground. “How wicked! How dare she hit someone? This lady has been here for a while. She can’t remember what happened before. This place (pointing to the head) is not very good. But she is very well behaved and never attacks others.”

“Awoo, awoo.” The puppy cried twice, and its gray-black hair became a clump of hair.

An Yinong walked over: “Wait a minute, I think I’ve seen her.”

As he spoke, he looked at the dog that kept whining: “What’s your master’s name, and where does he live?”

Everyone else found it strange. Why didn’t he ask a person, but a dog?

However, in An Yinong’s ears, the dog had already given the answer: “I can understand what you are saying. Are you asking about my master? My master’s name is Jiang Lixiu, and she lives in…”

I don’t know if it’s because of the dog’s affinity for animals, but the dog had no doubt about An Yinong’s intentions at all.

“Jiang Lixiu?” An Yinong called out the name tentatively, and the silly wanderer actually turned around, as if asking ‘who is calling her’.

“There’s a response! So her name is Jiang Lixiu. Then it will be much easier for us to find her relatives if we put an advertisement in the newspaper?” The waitress said happily, “Do you know any other information about her?”

“I remember her home is in Jinshawan. How about this, I’ll give her a ride.”

Zhang Wei and the others saw that An Yinong was so sure, and thought that he really knew someone, so they said, “I’ll go with you. It’ll be helpful if there’s more people around.”

“Yeah, don’t look at us like this, we can beat two adults.” After bragging, he remembered An Yinong’s fighting ability and added, “It’s just a little bit worse than yours.”

An Yinong couldn’t help laughing: “It’s not like we’re going to fight.”

He wanted to take the homeless and the dog back in a taxi, but the taxi driver refused to take the dirty woman and the dog. He had no choice but to go to a nearby phone booth and call home to ask the driver to pick him up.

Not long after, the driver, Uncle Cai, appeared here driving the car.

“Master, who is she?” The driver was a little confused. Why did he pick up such a dirty migrant worker?

“It’s good to do good deeds every day. I met her once, and I know her name and address. Maybe I can find her family.” An Yinong explained.

Uncle Cai could only reluctantly believe it, but he didn’t want An Yinong to sit in the back row anyway. This person had been wandering for so long, who knew what kind of parasites she had? What if she had head lice or something? Wow, he would have to shave his head.

So An Yinong sat in the front row, and Zhang Wei and Zhao Gang sat in the back row, together with the homeless person and stray dog. Fortunately, they didn’t mind it very much, on the contrary, they were very excited now.

“I’m so excited. Her family must be very worried.”

“She has been missing for so long, I wonder if anyone has put an ad in the newspaper looking for her .”

Zhang Wei and Zhao Gang spoke loudly, but the homeless person and the dog just sat there quietly.

As the clerk said, she was “very well behaved”. Although she was confused, she had no aggressive tendencies and was not panicking. Judging from her overall state, although she had been wandering for a long time, she should not have been abused.

A blessing in disguise.
